Hands down the winner was this article. I mean it wasn’t even close.
I don’t recommend reading it, but if you do, be prepared. I am not fucking kidding. It won a pulitzer and I can see why, because it will cut a god damn hole all the way through you.
Some runners-up that are a bit easier to process, but still utterly heartbreaking in their own ways:
The Pulitzer Prizes (1st runner up, another pulitzer)
Somebody is to Blame for This (my previous winner, just watch the video)
How A Woman's Plan To Kill Herself Helped Her Family Grieve : Shots - Health News : NPR
Good luck. You’re gonna need it.

Now you do, right?
